[Riff]
Hey Robin
Hey Robin
[Verse 1]
I am the only knight
Our love is really true
I gotta be with you
The story of this fight
Bring the sign
That forever we'll relate
[Verse 2]
Imagine a special scribe (?)
Code you'll never crack
Fantastic loving nights
We find each other's breath
There's something, my love
I've got to try
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe
That I'm having a lot to overcome
Just this fire
Will do call the nights be through
You will see
All your dreams will soon come true
Gonna fight for you
[Chorus]
Let me take your hand
With just a need that we pray
I know my feeling's right
I'll be your hero
Let me feel your smile
This world is so full of pain
Conventions keep you tight
I'll be the winner
[Riff]
Hey Robin
Hey Robin
[Verse 3]
Inside a golden page
The shadow falls on fields
Forgotten who the hero is
The reason of this rage
Bring the sign
That forever we'll relate
[Verse 4]
The angel is in your eyes
The heart is full of fire
Great thunder in the night
The master of my desire
Gonna show you
The way to ease your mind
